Two of the people said Lavrov was being treated for a heart condition.
Officials said he was taken to Sanglah Hospital in the provincial capital, Denpasar. The hospital did not immediately comment.
Lavrov is the most senior Russian official attending the G-20 summit that begins on Tuesday but about such news there has been a reaction from the official Kremlin.
